Max, the grass is always greener when you are holding a loss, unfortunately.
my experience says that when in these situations revisit the reasons why you bought at the price you bought.
What was so special at 180p for instance that you decided to buy then and not when it a bit higher or a bit lower?
What is your time frame? was it 6 days or 6 months?
Do you have a price that should the SP fall to you would sell and one should it rise, you would bank the profit.?
without over analysing (and I recognise what you are saying) but terms like fed up and demoralising sound like you over committed and that the current (paper) loss is causing you to be anxious?
I know its almost certainly telling you how to suck eggs, but at the same time is does seem, not on your brief post, that you had a plan of action prior to your first purchase?
All any of us can do is, if we had out time again, would we make the same decisions? If the answer is yes, then its just bad luck to have a poor result, but if some errors surface through a brutal re-examination then there is always a likely better outcome next time round.
(I am sorry if this comes across as patronising, its not my intention at all, we have all been there.)
